The only thing that I don’t like about it is that I only get 100 energy and then I have to start spending my diamonds and watching ads for energy. I can’t accumulate more than 20 diamonds at a time because I always spend them on energy which sucks because now there aren’t enough diamonds to spend on anything else. But other than the energy and diamond amount I really enjoy playing this game. As I said before I’m addicted! ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-04-15, version 14.0.0* Fun and great to play, takes a lot of patience as time the further into the game you get, but overall pretty good ### 2/5 — Stingy on the rewards and prizes. Even when you win a prize, you have to wait two hours to open it. *2026-03-15* It’s not a fun game to play because there’s so stingy on the energy and you have to match things 100 times to get one thing to get a prize and then you have to wait two hours it’s not fun. ### 2/5 — Tutorial is too aggressive *2026-03-06, version 12.0.0* I’d really enjoy this game, if not for the never ending tutorial that insists on pointing out every single merge, even after making hundreds of merges. At this point no one would still need help learning how the game works! There seems to be no way to disable the tutorial. I finally closed the game and quit playing because all the game consists of is tapping wherever the white glove tells you to. Does it ever stop? ### 2/5 — Update *2026-03-01* The game has completely change from the characters and the story with the update. I download this game because I enjoy the original characters and storyline ### 2/5 — Tutorial *2025-11-27, version 11.0.0* Get rid of the annoying finger pointing what you want done next. ### 3/5 — Good, but *2025-08-09* I enjoy the game, but there are some glitches. The game updated which changed some of the items that can be merged. However, the game did not update the existing goals, so I have some orders that I can never complete because the item no longer exists. Also, the game doesn’t always save my progress. So I have to earn twice as much to redo my previously made renovations. ### 2/5 — Repeating levels for no reason *2025-08-08* I’m feeling really frustrated because I’ve had to repeat the same spaces for no reason. Yesterday when I was playing, I was doing the kitchen. Today when I started playing, I was back in the theater room. This has happened 4x and I’m getting ready to quit the game. ### 3/5 — Great game *2025-08-07* I have been playing the game for a month now, very addictive I am upset though I bought diamonds and the game froze so I lost 400 diamonds that is upsetting ### 4/5 — Glitches *2025-06-23* There are glitches in the game not allowing me to sell items if it’s not needed. ### 3/5 — Some things are frustrating *2025-06-18* There’s some events like I think it’s called legacy of corsairs or something. I wish it gave you the option to exit out of the event when you don’t want to join it because it’s not a good time but no it does not give you the option and then it starts counting down on a timer.. they really should fix this because people should have the option to start that event when they are ready not just when they are trying to look around and do something else ### 2/5 — Games fun *2025-06-11* Don’t fall for the 400 energy for inviting someone that reaches lvl 6. I know for a fact I had 2 people reach it and didn’t see credit for either. Messaged then about it. Got a run around about hugs being fixed yet never got my credit of 800 energy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App crashing *2026-06-21* I’ve played for about a year and now it crashes every time I open it. Been down for over 24 hours. Tried to soft restart phone and reinstall. Still crashing ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-05-12, version 14.0.0* This game was brilliant but then becomes impossible to get anywhere or enjoy it as never enough energy and takes forever to merge anything, it’s a shame coz I loved this game ### 1/5 — Game issues *2026-03-13* I just installed this game today and i am having issues with game play. I am on level 12, the game is telling me to tap on the earth icon but it’s not accepting my taps. So I can’t move forward. ### 1/5 — Can’t get any further past level 2 *2026-03-13, version 13.0.0* Was enjoying the game until I completed level 2 and it prompted me to click a button to “travel to an island”. Problem is no matter how often I press the button, or close the app and reopen it, nothing happens. And because it’s a tutorial prompt I can’t do anything else, so the game is stuck telling me to visit somewhere I can’t ### 1/5 — 友達招待の報酬がもらえない *2026-02-21, version 12.0.0* 友達を招待して6レベルまで遊んでもらったのに報酬がもらえませんでした。 ### 1/5 — Lost progress. *2026-01-31, version 12.0.0* I updated and lost most of my progress. ### 1/5 — Game completely changed *2026-01-30* What happened?

Game just freezes and can’t get past it 🙄 ### 1/5 — Stuck *2024-08-07, version 4.5* I am stuck on the kitchen scene. I can't buy refrigerator because the screen is cut off!!!

I can’t say that about this merge game. For starters, it has a great story to follow while playing the game and that keeps it very entertaining. In general, the game is fun, easy, and relaxing. 5 star ⭐️ game all around. ### 5/5 — 凄い！ *2026-02-14, version 12.0.0* こんなマージゲームがあるなんて！広告を強制的に見させられる訳じゃ無く楽しく遊んでいます。一つ注文があるとしたら色々な案内がされる時に見る見ないを自由にしてくれたら言う事無しです。 ### 5/5 — Not great *2025-09-19* Energy runs out too fast can’t merge a lot of items to get what you need. Can only play one a day for 5 min unless you spend money for more energy. It’s a nice game just wish the energy wasn’t so little and gone before you can even merge an item you need. Ads are too long as well for free energy makes me not even want it and it’s not even much at all. So much potential ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2025-09-14, version 10.1* I am at Level 24 and so far I am enjoying the game. There is a lot going on but that makes it interesting. I do tend to get bored of merge games after a point where you have reached a certain level and it takes forever to get that high level item again, so will shall see. But so far so good. ### 5/5 — めちゃくちゃ楽しい *2025-09-12, version 10.1* 似たゲームをいくつかやってきましたが、このゲームがダントツで面白いです。応援しています。 ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2025-07-18, version 9.0* Never a dull moment ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-07-10* The only thing that is wrong with this came is that iPad has to be vertical ,I prefer to hold my iPad horizontal --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
